Shared memory problem after updating to Ubuntu-9.04

[stoneybroke]

Has anyone got the solution to this problem? I updated from Ubuntu-8.09 to 9.04 yesterday and since then the video streams have stopped working. The logs give the error ERR [Failed to open video device /dev/video0: Permission denied] and WAR [Shared memory not initialised by capture daemon, some query functions may not be available or produce invalid results]

Has anyone come across this problem, and can tell me what to do to fix it.

Many thanks,
Malcolm.

You can either set the suid bit on zmfix or you might try adding it to the video group I think it is. You likely need to redo some of the permissions bit in what ever guide you followed to install it before.

Sorry for not replying sooner. Thanks for the info Cordel all I had to do was follow the instructions in the documents when I first installed ZoneMinder these;

Link Apache
sudo ln -s /etc/zm/apache.conf /etc/apache2/conf.d/zoneminder.conf

Restart Apache
sudo apache2ctl restart

suid zmfix
sudo chmod 4755 /usr/bin/zmfix

Run zmfix
zmfix -a

Fix export problem
sudo chown www-data.www-data /usr/share/zoneminder/temp

And its all working again.

Thanks again,
Malcolm.
